I find scientific models of the world satisfying; I think our understanding of the world as being made of material and no more is capable of explaining everything we experience. The sketches of how this and that could be so that are written by this and that philosopher seem more plausible to me than any "supernatural" account. (Of course, if we discovered something "supernatural" to exist after all, then we would immediately start to consider it "natural".) So I say, with reasonable small amounts of doubt, that we've managed to hone onto the 'gist' of reality via the scientific method. However, I'm more interested in trying to be right tomorrow than I am to defending any given position that I hold today, so I'm not strictly anything.
